"It seems are first duel of the tournament is with Grace from the Ritual World vs. Crystal from the Xyz World. Grace has had a perfect duel record, never losing once and has never gone below 4000 LP in any of her duels. Crystal is a strong duelist who is ranked in the top 10 leaderboard for the Xyz world who fearlessly takes on all challenges. Let's see how these two ladies face it off."
Grace's LP: 4000
Crystal's LP: 4000
System: Tournament Mode is set. Location: Ancient Ruins( when the player starts their turn, if their Life Points is higher than their opponent, they can draw an extra card). Grace shall go 1st.
"I draw. I activate Preparation of Rites from my hand. I can now add Sprite's Blessing and Sauravis the Ancient and Ascended to my hand. I activate my skill Heaven's Blessing. When I add a card to my hand besides the Draw Phase, I gain 500 Life Points. I drew two cards so I gain 1000 Life Points. I activate Christopher, The Ascended( Lv 6/2300/2500) special ability. I can special summon him in attack mode when I gain life points and then I can also draw a card. I gain 500 Life points. I summon Keeper of the Gate(Tuner/Lv 2/1000/800) in defense mode. I tune Christopher and Keeper of the Gate to Synchro Summon Ascension Sky Knight(Lv 8/2800/2600) in attack mode. Once per turn I can deal you damage equal to the difference of our life points."
Grace's LP: 5500
Crystal's Lp: 4000-1500= 2500
"I set two cards face down and end my turn." Grace finished a flawless turn.
"Dang, she's good." Karter whispered to himself. He was racing through the jungle looking for an opponent while watching Crystal's duel. From the way the duel was going, Crystal needed a miracle to survive. Karter looked back at the duel. Crystal had summoned Ice Princess Zereort( Rank 5/2500/2100).
"I activate the Ice Princess's effect. I detach one xyz material to lower Ascension Sky Knight's to 0."
"I activate Sauravis, the Ancient and Ascended's special ability from hand. When my monster is targeted by an effect, by discarding Sauravis, I can negate the activation. I active my face down, Ancient Elixir, when I discard Sauravis to the graveyard, I can banish it and gain life points equal to its attack points. I gain 2600 life points."
Grace's LP: 5500+2600= 8100
"I activate Ice Princess's effect again. Sky Knight's attack becomes 0. Zereort attacks Sky Knight."
"I activate my second face down, Light Barricade, I can raise Sky Knight's attack points by the difference in our life points. Sky Knight gains 5600 attack. This attack will wipe out you life points.
Crystal didn't know what to do. This was it. Her first duel and she had already lost. Her opponent was good, way out of her league.
"I activate the Change of Tides from my hand. When a duelist's life points would reach 0 during the battle phase, it automatically ends the battle phase and then I can summon level 4 or lower water monsters from my deck up to the number of monsters on the field. I summon Two Headed Shark( Lv 4/1200/1600) and Saber Shark( Lv 4/1600/1200) in attack mode." Tempest leaped into the ancient ruins and landed next to Crystal.
Grace and Crystal were both shocked. Grace still kept her calm composure despite the turn of events. "You take 2000 damage for interrupting the duel. I'll take you down if I have to as well."
Tempest's LP: 4000-2000= 2000
"I don't' plan to duel you Grace and I won't be the one to defeat you." Tempest laughed, grabbed Crystal and quickly disappeared.
"What the heck just happened." Grace dashed through the ancient ruins but Tempest was way gone. The duel ended and she still had 8100 life points. "I guess I'll just to find another opponent.
Kai watched as Grace left the Ancient Ruins. It seemed he wasn't the only one who had been watching the duel. If he challenged Grace now, it would be a mistake. She had 8100 life points and her deck was based on having more life points. She would easily beat him. He would just have to wait for her life points to sink. Kai started to walk away when someone stepped in front of him.
"It's been awhile Kai. I hope you still remember who I am." Ace stepped in front of Kai.
Kai grinned. "Of course I remember an old friend. I mean we use to play yugioh all the time together. Now, we're opponents representing our respective worlds. Did you come to duel me Ace."
"No, Kai. I would probably lose. After all, you are the duel king and I'm just an unknown xyz duelist. I came to talk. I need your help."
Karter decided to lay down for awhile. He needed to think. Why would Tempest save Crystal and where did he take him? And where was another duelist. He had wandered the jungle for hours and he didn't see anyone.
"Finally, I found a duelist. I just hope you're talented enough to entertain me for awhile." Striker stepped out of the fields. His duel disk was prepared.
"Actually, I saw you first. So you're mine." Celestia appeared out of nowhere. The girl also had her duel disk prepared. Then there was Karter just laying by a tree.
"Wait, hold on, he challenged me first." Karter got up quickly. "I want to duel and I'll even duel both of you."
"So, it's settled. We'll do a battle royale." Celestia grinned as she offered the idea.
"Change of plans, Celestia. This will be a tag duel. Karter and me vs. you and Striker." Ace somehow appeared behind Striker. Karter couldn't believe what was going on. He had been looking everywhere and now 3 duelists appeared out of nowhere.
"Ace, when did you get here? Seriously, where did everyone come from?" Karter was eager for a tag duel though.
"So, you're Ace, the one who's been bothering the Emperor guild. Now I'll definitely have to beat you. I'll beat you so badly, you're going to wish you never picked up a duel disk."
"Challenge accepted." Ace replied. This was the perfect opportunity to hit the Emperor guild bad. And he also sent Kai to take out Tempest. If his plan worked, the Emperor guild might never recover.
"Alright, enough talking. Let's duel already." Striker grew impatient.
Celestia and Striker's Lp: 8000
Ace and Karter's Lp: 8000
Duel mode set: Tag duel. Location: Jungle(during the end phase, the turn player is dealt 200 x the level of the monster with the highest level). Striker shall go 1st, then Karter, then Celestia, then Ace. Ace will be able to attack on his first turn.
Meanwhile...
Kai walked towards the sea area. Tempest would most likely be there, and he had to do Ace's favor. It probably wouldn't be easy after all he was the number one xyz duelist and he would have the field advantage. Kai spotted someone coming towards him.
"Hey you. Do you know where Tempest is? I need to duel him." Kai asked the stranger.
"If you want to duel Tempest, you're going to have to duel me first." Damien unknowingly challenged Kai.
"Sure, I could use a warm-up." Kai agreed. "Let's duel."
That's it for this chapter. A lot will be happening soon so keep on reading. A tag duel including Celestia, the temporary leader of the Emperor guild, and Ace, who plans to defeat the Emperor guild. Kai, The Synchro Duel King vs Tempest The Xyz Emperor. Who do you have winning? I bet you thought Karter would face Tempest(oh and he will). And why did he rescue Crystal? These questions will all be answered in the coming chapters. Stay tuned to find out more.
